How to Process Your Own Transcripts Locally
SSW Tiger turns meeting transcripts into dashboards with summaries, action items, participant insights, and more. This guide walks you through generating your first dashboard from your own transcript.
Who is this guide for?
This guide is for users running SSW Tiger manually on their own machine. For example, use this when you have a transcript file from any meeting tool and want to generate a dashboard yourself.
Before You Start
You'll need:
- A Claude account: either a Claude Pro/Max subscription, or an API key from console.anthropic.com
- Claude Code CLI installed: Anthropic's agentic coding tool that runs in your terminal (install here)
- A meeting transcript:
.vttis recommended because it includes speaker tags and timestamps, which makes the analysis much richer
Step 1: Clone the Project
Open a terminal and run:
Step 2: Add Your Transcript
We recommend organising your transcripts inside a Projects folder within the SSW.Tiger directory. It keeps everything tidy and makes it easy to find the dashboards later.
Suggested structure:
Create a folder for your project, then a subfolder named after the meeting date, and drop your transcript inside. This is optional. You can put your transcript anywhere, but this structure keeps multiple meetings easier to manage.
Step 3: Generate the Dashboard
In the SSW.Tiger folder, start Claude Code:
If it's your first time, log in when prompted. Then just tell Claude what you want, for example:
Claude will:
- Run 5 specialised analysis agents in parallel
- Consolidate the results to keep names consistent across tabs
- Generate a polished HTML dashboard
Pro Tip: You can drag the transcript file straight into the Claude Code terminal. It pastes the path for you.
Step 4: View Your Dashboard
The dashboard is saved alongside your transcript:
Open it in your browser:
- Windows:
start Projects\test-project\2026-04-29\dashboard\index.html - macOS / Linux:
open Projects/test-project/2026-04-29/dashboard/index.html
You're done. That's your dashboard.
Additional Tips
- Start with a transcript you know well, so you can spot what the dashboard gets right (and what to tweak)
- The more meetings you process for the same project, the richer the Trends tab becomes
